A GeForce 2, which cost $40 6 years ago, should run the Aquarium nicely. The problem is depending upon these $1 graphics chips that Intel includes in some of their motherboard designs and people think they have a 3D graphics card when they don't.
And of course nVidia doesn't want to keep affordable graphics cards on the market so they never allow any graphics card to stay at $40 very long before they discontinue it. Comparatively, a GeForce 4 should cost $20 now, but they were discontinued so nVidia can keep the entry point price of video cards $50+.
